I do not know how to do this and I doubt I will be able to explain file apis more.
It is usually much easier to explain stuff when you actually have to learn it yourself, other people worked on file api conversions, did they explain or write down anything useful?

This bug is not the File API itself, but purely the interface for users.
The main approach I think is to show people the workflow of using the "Private files" area.
As a destination to build up and manage a set of files (via block on their home page, and possibly add a navigation link under profile)
As a source when selecting files to use in a course (from within the filepicker)
This should be enough for most people.
For courses with multiple teachers who want to construct a shared file repository, there are a few options:
They can make a hidden Folder activity in the course and use that as a source.
They can store the files in any external repository(eg shared drive, dms or repository service) and configure Moodle to use that.
Possibly a special new type of "Course files" repository ? MDL-23308 Overkill?
